Building a 2024 Outback Wilderness

[Cascadia]

I put my name on this vehicle right during the solar eclipse, and I am pretty excited about it. However, I do miss my old, sure, and steady 2014. So far, I have only added accessories and overlays to the vehicle.

Accessories from Subaru:
Subaru Outback Wilderness mudflaps
Window deflectors
Extra cladding along the sides
Window shades for the rear windows
Door protectors on the interior
Rear seat protectors
Protectors over the wheel arches

Other accessories:
Blackvue front & rear dashcam
Surecall cellular signal booster from my 4th gen Outback
Nitto Nomad Grapplers from my 4th gen Outback
Yakima Slimshady awning from my 4th gen Outback
Yakima Offgrid Basket
Thule crossbars
Screen Protech screen protector for the massive screen and around the gear shift
Overlays
Cup Holder Hero protectors
Trays for my Center console


Next up: Work on my ham radio's setup that works with the car's design and install a clear bra on the front end.



Stay tuned for the progress.

Nice! Do you have any photos of how you attached the radio mount?

I have wanted an Outback Wilderness since the trim was released in 2021. I almost bought one in 2021, but I enjoyed my 2014 and didn't want to let it go quite yet.

 

[Autism Family Travels]

Yeah I get it. I have seen your OB on the soob outback forums and here. NIce rig as well.

 

[Cascadia]

Thank you for the compliment. I am not done yet.

I kinda figured. ha ha. The old OB was killer so I am sure the wilderness will be as well.

 

[Cascadia]

My previous OB is a tough act to follow with everything that I have done with it.

How did you run your antenna cable? Through the firewall or around the door?

Which antenna are you referring to? If you are referring to my small antenna on the roof, that is my Surecall. Its cable is through a grommet in the car. If you are referring to my ham radio's antenna, it is running through the car's firewall.

 

[Norvak]

Thanks for the pictures. Yeah I was referring to the HAM. I remember looking at my wife's outback and didn't see a good spot to run through the firewall.

 

[Cascadia]

You are quite welcome. My previous Outback had its HAM antenna on its hood, and the wiring went through the firewall on the driver's side.

The newest addition to the setup is a Weboost Overland edition. My car still has the Surecall, and I am hoping to try both to see which one I prefer. If both perform well, I might put the Surecall on my other Subaru, a Legacy XT. I am sure that people might be wondering how that antenna is attached. It is on a silver L bracket on my awning's mount since I am trying to utilize space.

Great looking build! I am interested in seeing how your experience with the WeBoost goes. I'm considering getting one for my build but am on the fence as to whether it is worth it/or necessary for me. Definitely keep us updated!
